> Corporations can outlive human beings hence keeping our content online for the foreseeable future.

This is also a bug. Especially with third-party corporations that have their own motives, and are prone to treat estates differently than they did the person.

If one wants content to be kept online after their passing, then this needs to be setup ahead of time through an explicit arrangement with the host, not just terms in a will that an executor will be powerless to carry out.

I suppose specify in your will what you would like to happen to the content. I have not put much thought into it -- Perhaps have your pages transferred to some type of archive for prosperity and your emails archived and provided to next of kin.

I'm pretty sure my contractual rights, phone numbers, domains, etc. can be inherited like anything else. Since I own a couple of domains with our family name, my descendants may find them useful.
